Gallup - Respect for police near all time high

[Anti Federalist]

That's it, I'm $#@!ing done...

Worthless, helpless, hopeless, this population of numb $#@!s.

I used to say it half in jest, but now I'm quite sure: this current crop of AmeriKunts would apologize to the brave officer for stepping on his toe, as he was shoving them into the gas chamber.

I'm going to ground, like phill.

Enjoy the $#@!ing boot kicking your face, forever, assenholes.

(CNSNews.com) - The percentage of Americans who say they have a “great deal” of respect for the police in their area has climbed to 76 percent—just one percentage point shy of the all-time high of 77 percent recorded 49 years ago, according to a Gallup poll released today.

Respect for the police has increased over the past year among Americans of differing racial groups, ideologies, political affiliations and age, according to data published in a Gallup analysis.

Since 1965, Gallup has asked this question nine times: “How much respect do you have for the police in your area—a great deal, some, or hardly none?”

The first time Gallup asked it--in a survey conducted April 2-7, 1965—70 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 22 percent said they had some respect, and 4 percent said they had hardly any, and 4 percent said they had no opinion.

The second time—from August 3-8, 1967—an all-time high of 77 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 17 percent said some, 4 percent said hardly any, and 2 percent said they had no opinion.

After that, Gallup did not ask the question again until March 14-17, 1991. At that time, only 60 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 32 percent said they had some, 7 percent said they had hardly any, and 1 percent said they had no opinion.

In the nine times that Gallup has asked the question, respect for the police hit its all-time low in 2005. In a survey conducted October 13-16 of that year, 56 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 33 percent said some, and 11 percent said hardly any.

In the past twelve months, the percentage of people saying they have a great deal of respect for the police has jumped by 12 percentage points.

In a survey conducted October 12-15, 2015, 64 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 25 percent said they had some, 10 percent said they had hardly any and 1 percent said they had no opinion.

In the latest survey, conducted October 5-9, 76 percent said they had a great deal of respect for the police, 17 percent said they had some, and 7 percent said they had hardly any.

According to an analysis published today by Gallup, between October of last year and October of this year, the percentage of nonwhites who said they had a great deal of respect for the police increased from 43 percent to 67 percent.

The percentage of whites saying they had a great deal of respect for police increased from 69 percent to 80 percent.

The percentage of conservatives saying they had a great deal of respect for police increased from 69 percent to 85 percent.

Among moderates, it increased from 67 percent to 72 percent. Among liberals, it increased from 50 percent to 71 percent.

Among Republicans, it increased from 82 percent to 86 percent. Among Independents, it increased from 60 percent to 75 percent. Among Democrats, it increased from 54 percent to 68 percent.

Among Americans living in cities, it increased from 61 percent to 68 percent. Among Americans living in suburbs, it increased from 71 percent to 82 percent. Among Americans living in towns and rural areas, it increased from 61 percent to 80 percent.

Among Americans 18 to 34 years of age, it increased from 50 percent to 69 percent. Among Americans 35 to 54 years of age, it increased from 61 percent to 77 percent. And among Americans 55 and older, it increased from 77 percent to 81 percent.

I am not surprised, much of this is a backlash from the activities of Black Lives Matter which while they raise valid concerns about police brutality ruin their message by race baiting and in some unfortunate cases calling for and even resorted to violence with riots and murders of police happening nearly every time there is a controversial police shooting whether it is justified or not. They ruined what was an otherwise important conversation, which we really need to steer back toward shining a light on the increasingly disturbing abuses of power by police and make the case that it is possible to be against police brutality while also being against mob barbarism.
